[This](http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a362/quietman1920/Mike30.jpg) is what’s on my desktop. My oldest was 3 or 4 there and I was carrying him in from the car after a long day. ---

[This one](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/Caricci/sorry.jpg) of my husband saying he’s sorry for acting like sex was a chore. He’s not usually like that and, in his defense, was probably reacting to my dog taking a big crap in the living room just before we got down to business. ---
